I promise.  I’ve been baking….  and taking pictures… but not posting…  Why?  Vanity: my pictures have either turned out too blurry, too dark, or lets face it, just too plain ugly.  I’ve gone five desserts without a single post!

But I determined in my heart that these peach hand-pies would make their debut on ToughMuffin no matter what!  Friends and readers – here’s a post just for you.  These mini peach turnovers are VERY good.  Perfect for summer.  Imagine – A splash of brandy in fresh peaches, and flaky buttery pie crust.  It doesn’t get much better!  THE RECIPE IS HERE

Brandy Peach Pie

I picked these peaches from my cousin’s garden.  A huge peach tree + My cousin’s aversion to peaches = Enough peaches to feed a village! These peaches were ripe, oozing all over my counter, and begging to be placed into a small pie.  So of course, I obliged :) .

Fresh Peaches

We all know that dough needs to stay chilled in order for it to be flaky.  But this recipe called for the flour and butter to be frozen before I even started working with it!  But it was worth it. All I can say is – this bratty dough recipe had a delicious buttery result..

On the making these little hand-pies. .. I will give two warnings.  They require plenty of TIME and COORDINATION!!  Without just one of these, your pies will turn out a little like mine….

A fork is all you’ll need for decoration.  A small slit will let the steam escape.

The result?  These weren’t pretty, but boy were they tasty.  Hot, piping, and straight out of the oven.. in this household, they put a smile on even the crankiest man’s face : ).
